GUNTHER had an amazing run in NXT UK as he became the longest-reigning champion in modern WWE by holding the NXT UK Title for a record 870 days. He dropped the title to Ilja Dragunov at NXT TakeOver 36.
GUNTHER finally made his way to the US as part of the NXT roster as well. Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser made their main roster debut on Friday Night Smackdown earlier this year.
On this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, Sheamus squared off against GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship. The match ended in controversial fashion as many believed GUNTHER tapped out, but he did not.
During the WWE Extreme Rules Premium Live Event, The Brawling Brutes battled Imperium in a Donnybrook match to start off the event. GUNTHER’s team lost in the end thanks to some solid teamwork from Sheamus and his gang. GUNTHER took to Twitter and expressed his disdain for the loss.
DISGRACE
We will have to wait and see whether Sheamus will get another shot at GUNTHER’s title. By the looks of it, their first is only getting started and will continue to heat up.
